The 2025 Copa Libertadores semi-final second leg sees Palmeiras-SP hosting LDU Quito at Allianz Parque. Palmeiras face a daunting task overcoming a 3-0 first leg deficit suffered away at LDU Quito’s high-altitude home venue. Palmeiras are one of South America's richest clubs and recent multi-time champions, while LDU Quito shocked many by dominating the first leg emphatically.
Key Factors to Consider
Palmeiras are the favorites on paper and at home but have struggled offensively against LDU’s disciplined defense. LDU Quito showed exceptional form in the first leg, winning 3-0 with strong attacking displays, particularly from Gabriel Villamil who scored twice. Palmeiras will need a strong attacking performance, but key players like Paulinho, Lucas Evangelista, and goalkeeper Weverton are still out injured. LDU's Bryan Ramirez is suspended for this match after his red card in the first leg.
This is a rare fixture, and the first leg was a decisive 3-0 win for LDU Quito. Historically, Palmeiras have had more success in Libertadores, but LDU’s recent form and first leg result tilt the current H2H in their favor.
Palmeiras are missing Paulinho, Lucas Evangelista, and goalkeeper Weverton. Anibal Moreno is doubtful. LDU Quito miss Bryan Ramirez (suspension), Alejandro Cabeza (injury), and the availability of Lisandro Alzugaray and Jeison Medina is uncertain.
Altitude and home support favored LDU Quito in the first leg. Now playing at Allianz Parque, Palmeiras will have home crowd support but feel pressure to overturn a large deficit. The pressure can impact Palmeiras’ mental approach. Weather and pitch conditions expected to favor Palmeiras.
Palmeiras are highly motivated to reach the final and defend their status as one of the strongest teams continentally. LDU Quito, having shocked Palmeiras and the continent, will aim to maintain composure and exploit defensive chances given Palmeiras’ need to press hard.

Predicted Outcome
Palmeiras are predicted to push aggressively and likely dominate possession and chances at home, but overcoming a 3-goal deficit is challenging. Taking into account missing key players and LDU's solid defense, Palmeiras are likely to win the match but only by a margin of 1 or 2 goals, thus LDU Quito should progress on aggregate.
Location: Estadio Presidente Perón (El Cilindro), Avellaneda
Game Overview
The second leg of the Copa Libertadores 2025 semifinals features Racing Club hosting Flamengo-RJ. Flamengo holds a slim 1-0 aggregate lead from the first leg played on October 22 at Maracanã. Racing Club must overcome this deficit at home to advance to the final, while Flamengo aims to defend their advantage and continue their pursuit of a fourth Libertadores title. The match is crucial with Flamengo in a strong position but Racing motivated to overturn the scoreline.
Key Factors to Consider
Flamengo arrives with strong form, having won the first leg 1-0 and showing dominance in recent Libertadores campaigns, including eliminating top teams like Estudiantes and Internacional. Racing Club has shown grit to reach this stage after long absence but faces key injuries affecting squad depth. Flamengo’s tactical solidity and experience in high-stakes matches give them an edge.
In total, Racing and Flamengo have faced seven times with Flamengo leading wins 2 to 1 and 4 draws. However, in knockout stages, Racing historically performed well, recording victories in elimination encounters. The recent first leg ended with Flamengo’s 1-0 win, maintaining their upper hand in this tie.
Racing Club is missing important players such as Franco Pardo and Gabriel Rojas, which weakens their defensive and midfield stability. Flamengo's squad appears healthier and more balanced going into this match.
The match is played at Racing’s home stadium, which could provide a motivational boost through crowd support. Weather and pitch conditions are expected to be standard with no extreme factors reported. The scheduling timing affords both teams adequate rest.
Racing is highly motivated to reverse the first leg deficit and reach their first Copa Libertadores final in decades. Flamengo seeks to capitalize on their advantageous position to secure a spot in the final and potentially win a fourth continental trophy.

This Copa Libertadores match pits LDU Quito against Palmeiras-SP in the semifinals, with the first leg taking place in Quito. LDU Quito will leverage their home advantage at high altitude, which historically impacts visiting teams. Palmeiras enters as the bookmakers' favorite, reflecting their strong recent form and depth in the squad.
Key Factors to Consider
Palmeiras-SP has shown superior form in recent Libertadores matches, with strong attacking and defensive records. LDU Quito has been resilient at home but less prolific offensively. Palmeiras’s experience in continental competitions gives them an edge, while LDU's altitude advantage should not be underestimated.
Prior encounters between LDU Quito and Palmeiras in Copa Libertadores have been competitive but limited; no recent matches in 2025 are recorded prior to this fixture. Historical data suggests balanced contests with slight favor to Palmeiras in recent continental form.
Current injury updates for both teams are not fully disclosed, but no major injury reports have surfaced for key players affecting starting lineups significantly.
The match venue's altitude (Quito is approx. 2,850 meters above sea level) favors LDU Quito, potentially impacting Palmeiras physically. Weather and pitch conditions have not been reported as major issues.
As a semifinal first leg, both teams are highly motivated; Palmeiras aims to capitalize on their stronger squad to build a significant advantage, while LDU Quito looks to defend stoutly and exploit home conditions to keep the tie open for the second leg.

Flamengo plays at home in their iconic Maracanã stadium, facing Argentine side Racing Club. Both teams have shown strong form in the tournament, with Flamengo recently eliminating Estudiantes and Racing Club advancing past Vélez Sarsfield.
Key Factors to Consider
Flamengo is a historically dominant South American club, showing solid attacking and defensive play throughout the Libertadores 2025. They won their quarter-final first leg 2-1 against Estudiantes and although they lost the second leg 1-0, they advanced on aggregate. Racing Club has impressed with tactical discipline, winning their quarter-final ties against Vélez Sarsfield with tight margins and strong defensive organization.
